Sourgum

Sourgum is transforming the $100B+ waste and recycling industry through cutting-edge technology that makes waste removal simpler, smarter, and more cost-effective. Our innovative haulsourcing platform facilitates businesses with high-quality waste services at significantly reduced costs — saving customers an average of 20%. Leveraging proprietary datasets, an advanced operating system, and a curated network of 5,000+ trusted vendors, Sourgum empowers companies to streamline operations while advancing sustainability efforts. Sourgum’s founding story is deeply rooted in industry knowledge, but its approach is fully modern. The company was born out of the frustration with outdated systems and opaque pricing models that burden operations teams. Built in-house, Sourgum’s platform leverages proprietary AI algorithms, automated workflows, and a custom logistics engine to tackle inefficiencies in waste management, eliminate surprise fees, and promote sustainable practices through smarter hauling decisions. Sourgum has raised $15+ million in venture capital from Spark Capital, Suffolk Technologies, and Founder Collective among others.
